What is fiscal sponsorship?
As a tax-exempt organization, the Goodnation Foundation can accept and disburse gifts on behalf of your program, in addition to a number of other comprehensive services, allowing you to fundraise without your own 501c3 status.

Who is fiscal sponsorship for?
If you are raising charitable funds for a cause you care about, and do not have your own 501c3 or 501c4 status or plan to apply for it in the future, fiscal sponsorship may be a good fit for you. We can also accept c4 funds.

What makes Goodnation different?
No annual fees, a responsive and flexible team, an organized platform for managing your program, the option of payroll and benefits and so much more are reasons why Goodnation’s fiscal sponsorship service is rapidly growing.
